Listen up, May is Better Speech and Hearing Month

ST. IGNATIUS — May is “Better Speech and Hearing Month,” and the Tribal Health Audiology Program is inviting the public to the St. Ignatius THHS Clinic on Tuesday, May 20, from 9 a.m. to noon, and 1-4 p.m., to learn more about the program and to get or schedule hearing examinations.

There will be refreshments available and folks can enter a drawing for a set of TV ears.

Consider the following:
• More than 38 million Americans have hearing loss, but less than a quarter of them seek help.
• Does your family complain about your hearing?
• Do you have ringing in yours ears?
• Do you avoid gatherings, due to your hearing?
• Do you notice that your child doesn’t pronounce words correctly or not speaking at their age level?
• Have you suffered complications due to a stroke or head injury?

If you have any of the aforementioned problems you are encouraged to make an audiology appointment for an evaluation as soon as possible.
